011 CONTAINER DISPENSER.

Application med s 10, 1925. Serial 15. am.

The invention relates to containers for I oils and like liquids and moreparticularly 'to containers of such a characten thatthere may beconveniently associated therewitha I dispensing pump or like member forremoving the contents therefrom. It has for its. ob ect to rovide acontainer'which' is so constructed that it will beimpracticable torefill the same or replace the contents there- 10 of with an inferioroil. A further object of] the invention consists'in providing a ruggedand substantial construction of container of this type although withalinexpensive.

The nature of the invention, however, will 16 best be understoodwhendescribed in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which* i V sFig. 1 is a vertical section thru the novel container. I i

fragmentary sectional illustratin respectively the mounting VleWS Fig. 41s a vertical sectionthru the container and suction tube of thedispensing the latter inserted into the container or dispensing thecontents thereof. 7

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary vertical section showmg the manner of attachingthe pump 30 to the guide tube and the means for venting thgpontainer. fr1- I 1 'g. 6 is a agmentary e evation part y in section, of. the lockingdevice for the suction tube.

85 Referring to the drawings, 10 designates a a sealing compound, ascrew threaded member 13 which is in effect a continuation of a tube 14.The latter extends into the receptacle 10 from its top and substantiallyto the bottom thereof; and is provided at its lower end with anenlargement 15 affording a shoulder 16., The bottom of said ockoutholding member 12 vent its enlargement may be surrounding open guibottom of the receptacle. Thelower open end of the enlargement,furthermore, is

sealed by a knockout seahng disk 18, as by turning the bottom edge ofthe enlarged EOI'UOD over the circumferenceof said dlsk,

ig; 3; and the tube at its upper end may be closed as, for example,byscrew disk cap.

19 fitted thereover to prevent entrance of forei I matter into theinterior of the tube. The atter, normall is thus sealed both at top andbottom an lies within the'body of the contents of the rece tacle. I

- The diameter of the tu 14 proper is such as to receive and guide witha snug fit the suction tube 20 of the dispensing apparatus.

guided and held in -a de 17 secured to the 21, which may be in thenature of an ord1- nary piston type measuring pum with delivery hose 22attached thereto an operated from a crank handle 23. This suction tube,v

however, is provided at its l gger end with a knocklngout edge 25 andghtly above same with spring latches 26.normally .urged outwardly fromthey are pivoted. ,Thus, when the'suction tube is inserted a sufiicientextent into the tube 14, its lower edge 25 engage the disk 18 and uponfurther insertion knock the same out and establish communication be-.tween the suction tube and the interior. of the receptacle so that thecontents may be the tube walls, to which removed therefrom. As thissuction tube inserted, moreover, the latches spring out therefrom underthe shoulder 16 ofthe enlarged portion of said tube 14 as they pass.

by the same, so that it is no longer possible to withdraw the disp'nsing mechanism from the container. This can be accomplished only byforcibly withdrawing the upper knockout member. 13 thru the requisitepull thereon by the dispensing apparatus whichwill thereby suflicientlymar the containerto premoved with the ockou't disk 13, the latches 26are rende'redacc'essible and may be closed within the walls of thesuction tube to permit the latter to be withdrawn thru the tube 14 andthus render the dispensing apparatus available for subsequent use with.further and full containers.

In dispensing the contents of the con- .the suction tube and'separatefurther use. After the suction tube and surroundinfill-tube have thusbeen retainer it 1s, of cours?i necessary that a vent Y to the interiorof sai container be provided and suitable provision therefor may be madeas thru the screw threaded portion 30 at the top of the tube 14. .Forexample, a screw into communication with the atmosphere thru the axialopening 32 permittingthe' contents to be dispensed thru hose 22 as thepump 21 is operated by the crank handle 23. It is to be noted, also,that the screw 31 serves to lock thetube 14 to the pump 21 a so that inwithdrawing the same, after the contents have been exhausted, the strainwill not be entirely on the latches 26 in pulling out the knockout disk13.

I claim 1. The combination with a receptacle containing liquid, and anaccess member extending therein, provided with a seal below the surfaceof the contained liquid and united to the receptacle thru a weakenedportion; of a dispensing member for said liquid, and having means forautomatically uniting itself to the. access member in being insertedtherein, and means carried by the dispensing member to then break theseal to establish communication between. itself and the receptacle. 1

- 2. The combination with a receptacle containing liquid, and a tubemounted therein and sealed ofl normally from said liquid and extendinfrom the top substantially to the bottom 0 the receptacle; of adispensing member having a suction tube adapted to fit withinthefirst-named tube .and to open the same at the'bottom t'o afli'ordcommunication between the contents of the receptacle and the saidsuction tube.

3. The combination with a receptacle containing liquid, a tube mountedtherein and extending from the top substantially to the bottom of thereceptacle, and a knockout disk at the lower end of the tube normallysealing the tube from said liquid; of a dispensing member having asuction tube adapted to fit within the first-named tube and to engagethe knockout disk to open the tube at the bottom for affordingcommunication between the contents of the receptacle and the saidsuction tube..

4. The combination with a receptacle containing liquid, and a tubemounted therein and sealed ofi normally from said liquid and extendingfrom the top substantially to the bottom of the receptacle; of adispensing member having a suction tube adapted to fit within thefirst-named tube and to open the same at the bottom to afl'ordcommunication between the contents ofthe receptacle and the said suctiontube, and means movable relatively to said suction tube for locking thesameto 'said*first being closed to seal said tube normally from.

said liquid; of a dispensing member having a suction tube adapted to fitwithin the firstnamed tube and to openthe closure member at the bottomof the enlarged portion to aiford communication between the contents ofthe receptacle and the said suction tube; and means on said suction tubeto extend within the enlarged portion ofv the firstnamed tube as thesuctionv tube is inserted therein and to prevent its Withdrawal.

6. The combination with a receptacle containing. liquid, a knockoutmember-at the top thereof, and a tube secured to said knockout memberand mounted in the rec'eptacle and sealed off normally from said liquid;of a dispensing member having a suction tube adapted to fit within thefirstnamed tube and to open the same at the bottom to affordcommunication between the contentsof the receptacle and the said suctiontube, said dispensing member having means thereon to engage the saidfirst-named tube whereby in withdrawing the dispensing mem'er the saidfirst-named tube and its knockout member are removed therewith as aunit.

7. The combination with a receptacle containing liquid, a tube mountedtherein having an enlarged portion at its lower end, a knockout memberclosing said lower endsto seal of]? normally said tube fromsaid liquid,and a knockout member at the top of the receptacle to which the upperend of said tube is attached; of a dispensing member having a suctiontube adapted to fit within the first-named tube and to break out theknockout disk at its lower end, and means on said suction tube to extendwithin the enlarged portion of the first-named tube as the suction tubeis insertedtherein and prevent its withdrawal therefrom, whereby inwithdrawing the dispensing member the said first-named tube and itsupper knockout member are removed therewith as a unit. I 8. Thecombination with a receptacle conurged latches carried by said suctiontube to extend within the enlargedtportionof the first-named tube as thesuction tube is inserted therein and prevent its withdrawal therefrom,whereby 1n withdrawmgthe dispensing member the said first-named tube.top 4 thereof, and a vtube secured to said knockout member and mountedin the receptacle and sealed off normall from said liquid; of adispensing mem r fitting over the top of the first-named tube and havinga suction tube adapted to fit within the firstnamed tube and to open thesame at the bottom to afiord communication between the contents of thereceptacle and the said suc- [tion tube; a screw having an openin there-.thru, and adapted to pass thru said ispensin member and the first-namedtube to vent said container as well as to lock the dispensing member tothe said first-named tube.

In testimony whereof I aflix m signature.
